Excerpt: Good morning teachers, students, and distinguished alumni—thank you all for joining me on this momentous occasion. I’m Mayor Kenndrick, and I’m thrilled to announce the launch of Wessex County’s first community garden here at South Falls High School. This magnificent project is funded by a grant from Green Planet Organics as part of their Gardens Grow Great Communities program. We’re so appreciative of their commitment to this amazing program. You might be wondering why we’re planting a garden at a high school. Unfortunately, recent statistics show that most high school students spend too much time indoors. We’re all guilty of wasting time in front of the computer or television when we could be outside getting fresh air and exercise. Most of you probably think that exercise involves running laps or spending hours inside a gym. In reality, exercising can be something as simple as planting seeds or pulling out weeds. Anything that gets your blood flowing is good for you and your body. Gardening has many therapeutic benefits. This program affords students the opportunity to commune with nature as part of a new curriculum that combines environmental science and physical education. Spending time in a garden also forges a connection between you and your natural habitat, enhancing your appreciation for the environment. This community garden will also facilitate social interaction between students and community members as they work toward a common goal.

But yes they are all placed correctly
My teacher had assigned me a difficult assignment. I took one look at it and told myself I wouldnt be able to do it. The assignment was an art project. I was supposed to create a clay sculpture of a dog. But the problem is, I'm not artistic in any way. I didnt want to do the assignment because I knew I would fail it. A few days later in class, everyone was bringing in their clay dogs. They all looked so good. They were showing off their sculptures to everyone else in the classroom. And my teacher was congragulating them. I felt so left out. I was dissapointed in myself for not trying. After school was over, I went home and tried working on my clay dog. It was actually turning out pretty good. Im surprised by how it didnt look all disformed. I brought it to school the next day and everyone was telling me how good it looked. I was so happy and proud of myself for completing the assignment. Next time I receive an art assignment to complete, I'll remember to belive in myself and I'll remember that anything can happen if I put my mind to it.
